I wrote and recorded the rhythm guitars and bass over some canned drums, with the initial intention of using the track on my solo EP. When it looked like that one was going to be more of a collection of electronic textures, I opted to record some…

RPM 2022 happened to coincide with a week where Mike got dozens of scam calls, so this idea popped into his head as a middle finger to the purveyors of said calls. We tightened up the lyrics in the studio and encouraged Mike to express his *real…

When Kenny first sang this one over a Zoom call, I immediately thought of “Singapore” by Tom Waits, and said, “Hell yes!” 😊 I’m not sure I made the chaos part sufficiently chaotic, but it was a lot of fun to put together. Special thanks to Rebecca…

Take him on
The scrabbling spree
Words like grotto

Share a piece of your light
